O Varuṇa and Mitra, Sûrya spreading the beauteous light of you Twain Gods ariseth. He who beholdeth all existing creatures observeth well the zeal that is in mortals.

The holy sage, renowned afar, directeth his hymns to you, O Varuṇa and Mitra,– He whose devotions, sapient Gods, ye favour so that ye fill, as 'twere, with power his autumns.
